Hello friends. Long time no write.

I didn't make a decision not to blog this semester. I even had posts planned out following my last one in August. Yet I quickly realized I needed a break, and so I silently took it.

I'm a senior now and unsure of what's coming next. I just finished my senior seminar, writing a roughly 100-paged collection of essays about my grandparents' farm in four months. And I just wanted to step away from the blog for a while and reevaluate.

A book blog has been fun, but it's not something I can keep up with in the long term. I love books, but I don't love to write about books. It's time to move on to something different.

So what's changing? At first, not much. The blog's name isn't going to change and for now the design is remaining until I figure out what I want it to look like. But the content will be different.

Short explanation: I'm writing what I want, when I want.

Long explanation: I'm going to use this space as more of a writing hub/exploratory place. A place for me to write about graduating, growing up, changing, and adventuring while also sharing snippets of my creative writing happening in the background. I don't know where I'll be in five months, but I'm sure I'll want to write about it. And so I will. Everything will be more personal, now. More about me (for those of you who have been with me since the beginning, this is Living as a Tiger 2.0.).

So coming up this month are my trips to London and Paris (!!) and any other thing that comes to me along the way.

I hope you'll stick around with me. I think we're going to have a lot of fun.
